Re: Linux router AP with reserved IPs on wlan0?
If you want a Linux router/AP, I recommend OpenWRT over Debian. It runs on
a variety of router hardware, but also PCs: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/openwrt_x86
Importantly, it uses UCI
<https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/uci> for configuration of
switches, networks, 802.11 (wifi) radios, SSIDs, firewalls, etc. which
substantially simplifies handling the issues you are encountering. Its web
interface (luci) works directly with the UCI config files, so it's easy to
switch between editing a file and working in the web UI.
